I wasn't chasing perfect skin, i just wanted to stop looking so tired all the time. The little lines around my mouth don't catch my eye the way they used to, and my skin just feels healthier overall.

The first place I always noticed my age was my forehead. I still have expression lines when I raise my eyebrows, but when my face is relaxed they're much softer than before.

I sleep on my side, so I always wake up with deep lines across my chest. They don't seem to linger the way they used to, and that's been a really nice surprise.

I still get the occasional blemish, but overall my skin looks clearer and more even than before.

I always avoided V-neck tops because of the lines across my chest. They're not the first thing I notice anymore, which has given me a lot more confidence in what I wear.

My skin always looked flat no matter how expensive my moisturizer was. Now it actually has a natural glow when I wake up instead of looking tired and dull.

The little brown spots across my cheeks were what bothered me the most. They're still there, but they're much less obvious now, especially in natural daylight.

My chest always gave away my age. I finally feel comfortable wearing lower necklines again.
